about

NOT SUITABLE FOR GOOD PEOPLE OR CHILDREN.

This pathetic attempt at humor, clothed garishly in festivity and a sickening amount of Santa references, is the brainchild of ambiguously moral-compassed "songwriter" Grim Fawkner.
From attempting to channel a modern day Bing Crosby singing about erectile assistance in song "Santa's Little Helper" to blaspheming heavily about the Lord in "Christmas Rodeo" little of merit can be found throughout the length of this album.
Songs, for want of a more accurate term, such as "Our Old Ways" dare to point the finger at the noble tradition of ignoring everyone else most of the time, whilst in "Cherry Red" Grim seems to suggest doing the same but in a car. Utter tripe.
Its one redeeming feature, if one could call it such, would be that it is shorter than most albums.

Do yourself a favor and stick to the classic artists we all know and love, such as Smelly Ol' Belle and her "Santa's bringin' Venison" album, or the iconic "I'm dreaming of a White christmas" originally written and sung in pleasing falsetto by David Duke.

On the upside, if you're a fan of lo-fi deplorably bad songs, you are verily in luck. 'Tis a double bladed sword, for though you may fancy such meagre fare as this and find it amusing, yet you are gifted with taste so appalling even the famously starved cannibals of downtown Tortoise Shell would turn their noses at your arrival.

1/10. Would not recommend.

about

Grim Fawkner Maldon, Australia

Rambling man, Grim Fawkner, is no stranger to stages and streets across the globe and at home. The epitome of the itinerant musician, he draws together tales and musings from his travels and is as likely to deliver them in soft ballad form as he is face-meltingly intricate and upbeat roots/country/blues. ... more
